Overnight Steel Cut Oats with Antiviral Toppings

overnight_antioxidants_oats_chanelle.jpg

Goods To Get:

•  1 3/4 cups milk — any kind you like (I use oat milk because oats and oats just seemed to be the right thing to do)

•  1 1/2 tablespoons honey, which is a food storage must have because it doesn’t go bad and can also help soothe an irritated throat — or maple syrup 

•  1 1/2 tablespoons nut butter — I used the Off Beat Butters but also found this organic chocolate nut butter with a huge variety of superseeds.

•  1 cup uncooked gluten-free steel cut oats— you can also use quick-cooking steel cut oats; the final oatmeal will have a softer, less chewy texture

• REAL salt to taste, make sure to buy this brand to get the trace minerals.

Toppings To Get:

• Chia seeds— flaxseeds, or hemp seeds

• Collagen powder, use code COLLAGEN10 for 10% off your entire order if it includes Collagen

• Organic ground cinnamon

• Dried fruit — dried cherries, dried cranberries, or chopped dates. 

• Fruit — fresh, or frozen and thawed fruit

• Toasted almonds — walnuts, pecans or brazilian nuts I add just these just before serving to maintain the most crunch

•  An extra drizzle of honey — or maple syrup

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, nut butter and any protein powder you may be adding until smooth. Stir in the oats, salt, and any other optional additions (wait to add fresh fruit or nuts so that they stay fresh/crisp). Cover the bowl tightly with plastic or transfer it to an airtight storage container and refrigerate overnight or for up to 5 days.

2. When ready to serve, stir the oats and portion the desired amount into your bowl or at this point, you can also divide the oats into individual containers and refrigerate for the week!

3. Top with fruit, nuts or other toppings.

4. Eat your heart out! xoxo
